What’s it about? Use ItsPoppingHere! to find events going on around you and get short-lived reviews about events and places as things are happening.

What’s cool? Tracking down fun is made a lot easier with ItsPoppingHere!, an app that scans what's going on around you and makes it easy to find events or places where you'll want to go. The app leverages other users' experiences nearby to let you know where things are happening, and you can figure out where you want to go using its mapping function. Users can also upload reviews of what's happening wherever they are, so you can get a first-hand look at what you're about to check out – but the reviews only last eight hours, so you know exactly what's going on and when, and any photos or other information that go with them expire quickly.

Who’s it for? If you're always searching for stuff to do and places to hang out, check out what ItsPoppingHere! can find you.

What’s it about? Role-playing game HonorBound tasks players with raising an army and leading it into battle against monsters and enemies of all sorts.

What’s cool? The forces of chaos are in full attack in the world, and only you (and an army of minions and other heroes) can stop them in HonorBound. Your job is to fight through various dungeons in turn-based battles, recruiting new heroes along the way and capturing enemies to fight alongside you as you go. You'll also level up your characters as you fight various battles and become more powerful, allowing you to gain new abilities to use in battle as you work through the game's story. You'll also encounter rival players along the way as you fight through HonorBound, and you'll eventually be able to choose units from as many as 300 different characters.

Who’s it for? Players who like casual but strategic turn-based role-playing action should try HonorBound.
